{{Book Review}} Getaway with God

I received this book free from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion. I am not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

What if a simple day away could transform your life?

Does spending time with God sound like just one more thing to check off an ever-increasing to-do list? How are you supposed to fit in anything that threatens to be more time-consuming? Too often there's simply no room to experience the intimacy, grace, and peace that God offers us.

Getaway with God does more than invite you to step away from life's pressures to take a personal retreat. It shows you exactly why you must--for your sake and for your family's.

With grace and warmth, Letitia Suk provides step-by-step guidance and the necessary tools to enable any woman on any budget to plan time away, whether it's a quick, half-day break or a week-long time of restoration. You'll find detailed steps for preparation, including descriptions of different kinds of retreats and how to choose the best one for you, and you'll learn ways to bring the renewal you experience home with you. Practical appendixes identify retreat centers nationwide and provide exercises and prayers to kick-start your getaway with God. No matter what your season in life, the time for a retreat is now!

*My Review*

Reading "Getaway with God" made me feel like I was having coffee with an old friend. This book is written in such a way that it just pulls you in. Letitia's ideas are very helpful and a is a wonderful guide. "Getaway with God" serves as a stepping stone to help women take personal time for a retreat of their own.

I really like that there is a reference in the back of the of the book on places to go to for a retreat, as well as why you should take time for a personal retreat. This is a wonderful book & I suggest it to all women.

Letitia invites women to chase the Intentional life. She writes and speaks of God's renewal and restoration and offers platters of hope to women in each season of life. Tish is also a personal retreat guide and life coach in the Chicago area and moonlights as a hospital chaplain. You might run into her walking by Lake Michigan, browsing resale shops, or making up a new tradition. She blogs at hopeforthebest.org and is also the author of Rhythms of Renewal.
